Coach Chris and Coach Nat are back and recording from our new location in West Seattle - coming Spring 2024! In this episode, we recapped what January has been like at the gyms and dove into what sets SSP apart from the rest of the industry. If you didn't know, our model is very unique and innovative compared to the rest of the industry so listen in to find out why! As usual, we did some Crossfit bashing and hot takes and discussed our opinions on 75 Hard.

Join Coach Chris and Natalie and our special guest, a member of SSP Alper as we talk about Alper's fitness journey, how he discovered SSP, and the things he loves about our gym. We thought Alper would be a perfect first guest for the podcast not only because he's such a wonderful member but because we believe his story is so powerful and relatable!

Back with Coach Chris and Coach Natalie to chat about the importance of sleep and recovery, and how to balance life stress with training stress! This episode covers a LOT of ground even outside fitness performance and into general stress management tools for the busy career person. We finish off with our weekly hot takes, and I think we're going to make that a tradition!

Join Coach Chris and Coach Natalie as they discuss SSP's programming philosophy and how we apply certain exercises at SSP. They dive into sport specific demands and how application of certain exercises may differ depending on goals and context. And as usual, they complain about Instagram fitness fads, because it wouldn't be an Inside SSP episode without a little sass!

Join Coaches Chris and Natalie as they talk about Natalie's journey to SSP, why our culture at SSP is so important, and the things that set SSP apart as a fitness business.

Tune in with Coach Chris and Coach Nat as they discuss the importance of resistance training as you age and how strength training really is the "magic bullet" to age healthfully. They also discuss the differences between training for strength and training for metabolic conditioning and how we help you do both at SSP. At the end they answer your rapid-fire questions including how alcohol impacts fitness goals and what they've both been reading these days!

Episode 7 comin' at ya! Your favorite round table is back, talking about 2 very important topics/questions we get a lot at SSP. Intimidation in a gym setting, and how often should you be working out? Listen in as we describe our own experience as coaches being intimidated in other gyms we might happen to workout at, and how we act/feel when we see someone who is looking intimidated in a new gym. Also, how often should you work out? We'll answer with one of our favorite phrases- 'it depends'. Sometimes just getting through your warm-up counts as a victory for the day :)

Coach Chris, Coach Natalie & Coach Allie are BACK! Listen as we rapid fire topics ranging from the January busyness at SSP, reframing our thoughts around body composition goals, refraining from toxic body talk, having fun while working out, and trusting yourself to try new things. We pack a lot into this 30-min coach chat- we're happy you're here to listen!

Welcome back to "Inside SSP"! We took a brief 6 month hiatus to open a 2nd gym, but now we're back to our round-table discussions- brought to you from the attic of our new location :)

Today we talk about Carbs, Carbs, & more Carbs! What's the deal with this macronutrient? Are carbs equally as important as protein in trying to change your body composition? (hint: yes it is.)

Join Coach Natalie and she facilitates a discussion with the 2 Coaches behind our Lifelong Nutrition Program: Coach Allie, & Registered Dietitian/Coach Britt!

Number 4! Today we spend our entire episode answering the question “what does recovery look like to you?” Every human body is different, so of course, it depends. But there are a few main components that all three coaches agree on: sleep, proper nutrition, and minimizing stress.
